[QUOTE="Blueknight, post: 546277, member: 15054"] JJJ- I have tried several times to talk to his therapist at the school and never receive a phone call back. I can't say that I've been overly aggressive trying to get a hold of him, but I'll probably call again tomorrow and let someone know I'm not getting a return call. As far as I've heard, he isn't doing so well in the day program. His outside the school therapist has apparently written a support letter for residential treatment. I believe his next IEP is a month out, so there may be further developments at that time. I'm not one to 'suck the system', but private residential is just way too much. I think the school district is not pushing for residential since they would have to foot the bill. And yes, I am legally the father (at least our parenting agreement has shared school and medical rights.) Beachpeace- No offense taken. In fact, I am really amazed at how supportive people are on these forums. I really figured people would just be like 'suck it up, he's your kid too.' I work with our local DSS relatively closely professionally, and have spoken to them already about this situation. At this point I've pretty much gotten the same info you have said - if she drops him off I need to figure something out. The person with the local DSS that I spoke to figured they would offer some in-home services in the mean time. I think she misunderstood me though in that I wouldn't need something done that day. Due to the situation with my other kids, I just can't stay on top of my son 24/7. When he visits now, I basically watch every move he makes. On a day-to-day basis there is no way I could do that.
